MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 1016

Backyard Automotive Repairers

Mr Moore - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning-

(1) In relation to the issue of backyard traders in automotive repairs which was raised with the Minister by the Motor Trades Association on 14 September 1993, and other times, what has been the Ministers response to dealing with this problem.

Mr Wood - the answer to the members question is as follows:

(1) In response to a letter from the Motor Trades Association on 14 September, I met with a small delegation of members of the Association on 28 September 1993 regarding automotive home businesses. I am awaiting the views of the Association concerning this issue. My Department will be working towards developing additional guidelines that recognise the Associations concerns and the broader policy of home business approvals.

Complaints received from the Motor Trades Association about the operation of backyard motor mechanics are investigated by my Department and the Association advised of the outcome. To date none of the businesses reported by the Association are operating in breach of their conditions including those relating to the environment.
